Trump approval, favorability tick up in DDHQ polling averages

  • President Donald Trump, who began his second term in January 2025, experienced fluctuating approval ratings in recent polls as of early May 2025.
  • This volatility follows a honeymoon phase after Trump's re-election and reflects increased scrutiny of his economic performance and governance.
  • For example, a May 5 poll of 3,128 voters showed 48% approval and a net approval of 0.6, while economic approval dropped to 40% in late April polls.
  • William F. Hall noted Trump’s poll numbers show "a significant degree of volatility and fluctuation," and Rich Baris called the decline unsurprising post-honeymoon.
  • The polling trends suggest possible challenges for the Republican Party in the 2026 midterms and highlight Democrats’ focus on capitalizing on Trump’s slipping numbers.
